Raised a warrior in the harsh winter country, Ryo inGara has always been willing to die for his family and his tribe. When war erupts against the summer country, death in battle seems certain. But when his warleader leaves Ryo as a sacrifice -- a tuyo -- to die at the hands of their enemies, he faces a fate he never imagined.

Ryo's captor, a powerful lord of the summer country, may be an enemy... but far worse forces are moving, and the war is only the opening move in a hidden struggle where his people may be nothing more than pawns. As all his convictions are called into question, Ryo must decide: will he stand with the man who holds him prisoner -- the only one who may defeat their true enemy? And if he does, can he persuade his own people to do the same?
